 We can learn a lot from movies like Back to the Future about today's technological advances by looking at what they got right and wrong. Today, hoverboards, flying cars, and biometric devices exist in some form. Although they were right about some things, they failed to predict the huge advances that have changed the way we live our lives today. We're going to go over four aspects of home automation today and show you just how much easier your life can be with a few little bits of technology.

 Lighting Control

Lighting control is one of the fantastic features of Home Automation. The first feature is the ability to adjust your lights remotely. You can access the lighting system in your home from your smart device and adjust the lights according to your needs, anywhere, using SupremeConnect (our home automation application). Second, you can program your lights for specific times of the day. A program like this can turn the lights on and off at specific times, dim them or un-dim them. In spite of their simplicity, these features offer endless convenience every day of the week. Take a look at a few different situations to see how convenient lighting control can be.

Feature 1: Remote Lighting Control

  • When you left for work, you forgot to turn off a light. As soon as you get to work, you open SupremeConnect and turn off the light on your smartphone.
  • It is now comfortable for you to lie in bed because you left the bedroom light on. The light is turned off without having to get up when you open your smartphone.
  • One night, you arrive home late. There is no one else home and none of the lights is on. Before entering, you turn on a few lights so that you won't have to deal with the discomfort of entering a completely dark house.
  • During the night, you hear an unusual sound. The necessary lights are turned on before you begin your investigation.
  • Feature 2: Programmable Light Schedules 
  • You know the kids won't turn off their lights until you walk into their rooms for the third time. At 9:00 PM, program the lights to turn off in their rooms.
  • It's time for you to go to bed. You can program all lights except the porch light to turn off instead of going around the house and turning them off one by one.
  • Thermostat Control

Temperatures and weather in temperate areas of the country (like Austin, Texas) can fluctuate wildly, making it difficult to keep your home comfortable. There is a solution to this problem thanks to home automation in Austin, Texas. Smart home thermostats can be programmed, monitored, and adjusted from anywhere using SupremeConnect.

 When the temperature changes drastically, you can ensure your home is at a comfortable temperature when you return. As a result, you will also be able to save money on your heating and cooling bills. Exactly how? Based on your schedule, your smart thermostat can increase or decrease the internal temperature of your home. While you're at work, you can lower your thermostat to sixty-four degrees, and once you get home, you can raise it to seventy degrees.

 Smart Locks

Those of us who often wonder, “Did I lock the door?” can benefit from smart locks.”  There are a few other features of smart locks you might find useful as well. If you're not home or unavailable, you can let family or friends in even if you're locking and unlocking your doors from anywhere. Don't worry about coordinating a time to let your cousin at your house who is visiting from out of town, he can text you when he arrives, and you can unlock the door from your office. As a result, there is no need to leave a spare key, which could pose a security risk.

 Doorbell Cameras 

You can see who is at your door with doorbell cameras, and you can converse with them with doorbell intercoms. Due to the fact that roughly 34% of burglars enter homes through the front door, this is an excellent tool for improving your home's security. The Supreme Connect app can notify you when someone is at your door. You can view live video footage at your door and talk to whoever has arrived using your smart device. Watch the video below to see how this can stop thieves in their tracks.
